| Abstract | This report details the case of a neonate born at 39 weeks of gestation with dysmorphic features (Sirenomelia). After three hours of admission, the patient suffered from a cardiac arrest. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed for 20 minutes, but there was no response, and the neonate died. Sirenomelia is an unusual and fatal congenital deformity, the most severe condition of caudal regression syndrome. This syndrome can cause pelvic-sacral dysplasia, genital anomalies, bilateral pelvic renal fusion with renal dysplasia, colon atresia, unilateral umbilical artery, and imperforated anus. |
